Re: Scirocco v. 944 (was: an intersting statement in the ClubH2O newsletter)



Haven't we had this discussion before?

Well, I have a modified Scirocco that I figure will handle better than a
stock 16V, and a relatively unmodified 944.  but I"m not sure I could
really compare the two, since I've been driving/autocrossing the Scirocco
for almost ten years, and I bought the 944 in Feb (In other words, I know
the 'Roc much better than the 944).  Right now, I think the Scirocco will
probably handle better, but the mods required to do so make it much less
pleasant for driving around town.  

In any event, the Scirocco seems more at home on the really tight corners
(say in autocrossint), where the 944 seems to prefer wider, but much
higher speed turns.

Just my observations...
